Ask The Dolls - "How do I clean my brushes"?

One of the questions asked most often by our clients is how to clean their makeup brushes? There are two ways to keep your investment of a great brush set well taken care of.

First is Brush Off ($9.00 for 2oz), this spray is the best on the market and I have used it for years to take care of my brushes. It is great because you can clean your brush and use it right away for your next color or client! Simply spray on a tissue and wipe your brushes back and forth on the tissue to remove any makeup.

Another way is to clean your brushes is by using a brush shampoo or a gentle face cleanser works well too! Washing your brushes can and should be done once a month to do a thorough cleansing. Use warm water with the soap, like Bare Escentuals Well-Cared For($14.00) and lay flat to dry on a paper towel overnight. Your brushes will thank you by helping you achieve a well blended makeup application.xo,Violet
